Comrades in Arms Ceremony

Résumé du livre

"From the American Revolution to Panama, Bosnia, Kosovo, and more, almost two million women have served in some way in every conflict. Not that they were legal in the early days. History tells us that thirty three thousand women served in World War One and almost 500,000 took part in World War Two. During the Korean era, 120,000 women were in uniform and seven thousand were deployed in theater nuring Viet Nam. During Desert Storm seven per cent of the total U.S. forces deployed were women-over forty thousand of them. So on these pages you will see those women who served this country-voluntarily-since it's beginning."--Inside front cover.
